Writing Apps
Ginger

This app is an extension that is put onto your computer and allow you to edit and rephrase wording. You can also translate your words into various languages.

This is a paper I wrote that I used Ginger to add translated parts of into Spanish. The translated parts are in bold.


Helps students edit grammar and spelling when writing.
Allows for language translation.
Can help students rephrase sentences to be more concise or make better sense.
Easy to use text box.
This extension is can be used for all editing on your computer.


Audio Apps
Pulsate

This is a live app that does not save a specific product. You have to download the app and then click away to make various music patterns.

As a lesson I would have students experiment with different patterns and sounds to find what they think is relaxing or enjoyable. They could then listen the music while reading or working on classwork. They would be able to change the music each time they used the app.
Easy and fun way to make musical patterns
Students could use patterns of music to listen to while studying
Could be used to teach sound patterns and visual
patterns
Allows for students to change settings to create
various sounds.
Allows for a lot of creative exploration
Students could get carried away and make
some pretty annoying music.
Some may not like the sounds produced
